Eaton easy800 control relays with Smart Wire-DT: Wiring, programming and commissioning controllers quickly and efficiently
As one of the leading manufacturers of components and systems for electrical engineering and automation, Eaton's Electrical Sector is now offering the easy800 control relay with Smart Wire-DT: The easy800 family is being extended with two new devices which offer the features of the easy800 control relay on the one hand and the connection to Smart Wire-DT on the other. Instead of connecting the switching device inputs and outputs to the controller in the conventional manner, the new switching devices are connected to Smart Wire-DT (SW-DT). Up to 99 Smart Wire-DT slaves with over 160 inputs/outputs can be connected to the two new devices for the adequate control of small or medium-sized machines. Both devices (EASY80x-DC-SWD) come with a serial interface as standard for programming or connecting a remote display such as the Eaton MED-Titan multi-function display (MFD-CP4 plus MFD-80-B).
The first device, EASY802-DC-SWD, is provided with two power supply inputs: POW for supplying the device and the SW-DT slaves, and AUX for the 24 V DC supply of connected contactors. The wide range of function blocks provided by easy800 are also available here, such as multi-function timing relays, counters, text outputs, value inputs, 7-day and year time switches, P-PI-PID controllers and maths function blocks, thus opening up a wide range of different applications.
EASY806-DC-SWD, the second device, is equipped with all the functions of the standard device. In addition to this other features are included, such as four digital inputs (24 V DC) used for high-speed counter functions. This device has a wide application range, regardless of whether it is used as a single-channel counter (up to 5 kHz), frequency counter (up to 5 kHz) or as a two-channel incremental counter (up to 3 kHz). Two of the four inputs can also be used as outputs (transistor 24 V DC, 0.1 A). These are used to support the pulse width modulation function blocks (up to 2 kHz) for temperature controls. The pulse output (up to 2 kHz) is provided for controlling stepper motor amplifiers. The function block can also be used for outputting a number of pulses at a freely selectable frequency. Like the easy800 devices, the EASY806-DC-SWD is also provided with the easyNet network, enabling up to eight devices - easy800, MED-Titan, easySafety or also PLCs - to be networked simply.
Smart Wire-DT is designed as a powerful communication system, enabling switching devices such as contactors, motor-protective circuit-breakers, pilot devices or digital and analog inputs / outputs to be connected quickly and simply. A gateway for connecting to Smart Wire-DT is unnecessary thanks to the Smart Wire-DT master already integrated directly in the control relay device. This enables users to access the complete range of functions and connect up to 99 slaves in the SW-DT line to a Smart Wire-DT master. All the necessary power supplies for the bus slaves as well as the 24 V DC supply for the contactors are provide directly with the bus cables in an eight-pole ribbon cable. For each SW-DT slave a device plug is positioned on the ribbon cable, contacted with a pliers and plugged onto the device - done.
During commissioning users can view online and fully test both the status of the SW-DT communication system in its entirety and also of each individual slave, including all data, via a PC and the easySoft-pro software. The functions of all slaves can be tested directly, simply and quickly. easySoft-Pro supports the entire range of Eaton's easyRelay control devices (easy500, easy700, easy800) as well as the MED-Titan multi-function display. Programming is implemented in ladder logic. All the known functions and components of easySoft-Pro are provided, such as the complete simulation tool, the 16-channel oscilloscope or the documentation of the circuit diagram with a cross reference list. For Smart Wire-DT, the easySoft-Pro was provided with the SW-DT configurator which creates the SWD-DT line with all slaves. The Automatic operand assignment function offers a considerable time saving: easySoft-Pro creates a standard assignment for all slaves. Switches and contacts are assigned to the inputs I17 to I99, and contactor coils and indicator lights to the outputs Q17 to Q99. Value inputs or motor-protective circuit-breakers are mapped to the established easy800 marker areas (either in byte, word or double word format). The operand assignment can naturally be changed or can be completed manually as required. Users can also assign operand comments directly when the SW-DT line is configured. easySoft-Pro therefore supports the user in all programming and commissioning steps as well as with later maintenance activities.
